Undercoating the Grot Tanks

The lunatic product of the deranged imaginations of grot riggers and scavs that have spent far too long basking in the insane genius of the Big Meks, Grots Tanks are diminutive armoured vehicles made to imitate the far larger Ork Wagons and Tanks.

The set contains four different variant chassis, tracks, exhausts and turrets as well as four fantastic Grot Tank Kommandaz and 5 different, incredibly shooty, weapon options.

I picked up a set of Grot Tanks on a recent visit to Warhammer World. After washing the resin, I then looked at the four main bodies and tracks deciding which was going to go with which. I then constructed and stuck the tanks together.

Constructing the Grot Tanks

You have lots of options, including adding exhausts and weapons in a variety of ways.

The workbench feature on the Grot Tanks is broken down into four separate features, one for each of the Grot Tanks.

Making more of the Ork Kil Krusha

The next stage in making the Ork Kil Krusha was adding the drive shafts to each side. This is quite a complicated part of the model and it’s worth taking the time with a couple of dry runs before gluing them into place.

The model is now completed and just needs a white undercoat.

Kil Krusha Turret

The Kil Krusha turret goes together quite easily. After putting it together, I added a few more details to the main weapon and turret.

Though I am less sure about how easy it will be to paint!

There is lots of lovely detail in this turret assembly, alas most of it won’t be seen as it will be covered by the top of the turret and the rear of the superstructure.

The secondary turret also had the final pieces added to it including the periscope.

This combination, especially the turret had a very German Tiger tank or Panzer IV look to it. I decided to arm it with a Big Shoota and a Rokkit Launcha (as it has a secondary weapon bay in the hull. I do like the tracks that I’ve used for this model.
